Economical and convenient

No frills but clean and friendly. Beds were a little firm for our liking but everything was clean and easily accessible. Very decent price. The parking situation is a bit tricky. This is my 4th stay here and there's obviously a reason I keep returning. It's well priced, clean, and convenient to Apalachicola and St George island.
